Oxfam Collection

Author:

Over the past few weeks, I made my Holiday 2010 gift recommendations for Him, Her, and Girls.

But what's the hottest gift of the season?

A goat.

I'm not kidding. Have a look:

Hmm, maybe ScoJo won't be spending the holidays alone after all ;)

In it's fifth season, the Oxfam Collection is a special set of charitable gifts offered by Oxfam America, an independent international relief and development organization that creates long-term, sustainable solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice in more than 90 countries.

Rather than provide short-term aid, Oxfam partners with local communities to help them help themselves.

Giving the gift of an animal like a goat, provides an invaluable resource for rural communities. Goats are a source of milk, fertilizer, and food for families living in areas that cannot support less durable animals.

It's a great alternative for those that don't need or want a tradition gift and a fun way to teach children the importance of helping others.
